Artists: How to Be Your Own Hero & Thrive

As an artist, you are your own hero; no one else will save you. This realization comes from understanding that true happiness and a sustainable career stem from embracing your authentic self and taking proactive steps, rather than waiting for external rescue. The journey often begins with reflecting on your past, much like recalling memories at a high school reunion, to uncover the innate seeds of your inner artist. Just as a friend found his true nature in search and rescue, artists find theirs in their craft. Happiness is an inside job, experienced by deeply connecting with your true nature. Therefore, don't waste another minute waiting for someone else to rescue you; be your own hero. Written by Crista Cloutier, artist mentor + founder of The Working Artist.
